Madeline Hunter Lesson Plan

Yesterday in class I learned about the Madeline Hunter lesson design and it was pretty confusing in a sense to here without seeing an example of what the form would look like completed #visuallearners,right? Lol. I was still very excited to learn about this lesson plan because it brings on the excitement of being one step closer to finishing my degree to teach. I have no doubts that I will get this lesson plan and rock it to the best of my abilities when I finally understand all the moving pieces. I also feel like I’m over thinking this process because that’s what I do and that this is much simpler than what I’m thinking in my mind. I think the thing that will be the hardest for me will be the thinking maps, I’m pretty observant of the teacher language and I ever heard of thinking maps but I have heard of thinking caps. I also think that closure seems a little confusing but like I said before, I maybe just overthinking things. The easier parts for me will be the modeling and modification. I think these will be easier because this is somewhat of what I do for now when I pull groups for LLI (Leveled Literacy Intervention). I believe the modeling has the most impact on the students because from what I have observed students seem to be more into things when they have been shown how to do it and what the outcome would look like. I don’t really know what would be lesser for the students because from my experience in observing so far what would lesser is to have explanation with visual proof of how something looks after you have given an assignment. I’m excited to get started with this lesson plan making, lol

    Modeling is very important it helps the students see what they are learning. I love demonstration and and visual aid in teaching the student.
    Excited to do lesson plans as well!

    I agree with you on the whole visual learner thing. It was confusing to really get a grasp on what goes in each section but I think Dr. Steffes will hopefully go over it next class. I never heard of thinking maps and to see that it is a part of the lesson plans kind of makes me nervous. I am exciting to learn about them but hope I get the hang of that section pretty quick. I also put that closure being a difficult part to complete. Great post and picture!

    I'll find a completed lesson plan. Sometimes I find exemplars very limiting. However, I believe in teaching to all learning styles #visualsarentalwayshelpful LOL

    I didn't mean anything bad about teaching all learning styles, I completely agree with that. I was just saying that I didn't understand the full concept of what you were telling us without a visual because I am visual learner. I personally need the explanation along with the visual. :/

Teaching 6th Grade Science

Well hello everyone, Long time no hear. Having a blog is not something I'm the greatest at, lol. Well it hasn't been a full year since my last blog, so that's good. This school year has been intense and busy. I'm at a different school this year, hopefully, I won't have to move to a different school next year. I plan on staying with 6th grade and the team that I have. It's so much work to move to a different school. I've been moved to different schools a lot without being asked, only 1 move in the past 10 years in education has been my choice. This year I'm trying to make another choice and stay with 6th grade. Teaching 6th grade is TOUGH and definitely not for the faint of heart, but it's also been very rewarding. It's allowing me to be more reflective on how I am as a teacher and the areas that I need to grow in. It's also been WAY less of a headache to teach one subject. I feel like Elementary education isn't integrated enough in order ...

Word Walls

I've always liked the idea of Word Walls but from my experience in the classrooms that I have the privilege of working in and observing in, it's hard to utilize word walls the way they need to be used, due to the lack of space in the classrooms. With district and state policies saying that there needs to be so many things on the walls already from quick step by step instructions of units that need to be up, like the fact families in Multiplication, etc., the different ways to multiply and so much more. There's not enough space to have a nice word wall without it being partially or almost completely covered. The idea of Word Walls to me is also not a concept that I'm completely on board with because I often wonder, if students are still having a hard time remembering how to spell words properly or remember what the words mean, how does a word wall serve them properly?  Well after a long talk over many weeks with a 6th grade teacher and looking at the creativity of a 4t...

Excited About Blogging

Excitement Ozzing From My Mind!! I am so excited to start this blogging thing. It's something I've never done before but have been interested in in the past but didn't know how to get started so I just let go of the idea. I am excited to be doing this now for my Teaching Techniques education class. What makes this even more exciting is that I know this class, past classes, and future classes will help me on my journey in becoming a classroom teacher as well as helping me with the current space I have decorated and furnished below that was assigned to me by my building principal to do small group LLI (Leveled Literacy Intervention). I'm excited to see how this class will help me better teach my groups this year and better prepare me for substituting throughout the school and for my future of teaching a classroom of more than 6 students. Hope you all are just as excited to read these blogs as I am to post them.
